Frontline report: 50% of Moscow’s fuel supply at risk after Ukrainian drone strike on its largest oil refinery
337 Ukrainian drones hit Russia, targeting Moscow’s largest oil depot and key infrastructure sites in other regions.
Summary
A massive Ukrainian drone strike targeted Russian oil refineries and infrastructure, including Moscow’s largest refinery, which supplies 50% of the city’s fuel.
The attack also hit the Druzhba pipeline control station, halting Russian oil exports to Hungary. With over 337 drones striking multiple regions, the operation exploited gaps in Russia’s air defenses.
Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.
Analysts suggest continued strikes could pressure Russia’s economy and energy dominance, potentially influencing ceasefire negotiations.
Man, a fuel shortage in Moscow is something Putin would struggle to downplay.
"See, I told you they are attacking us!" /s
womp womp.
i wonder how they did it without Elon knowing about it
Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.
You had fucking 3 years to look for alternatives.
What alternatives do they have? We’re seeing Germanys economy in free fall, VW closing plants for the first time ever, because their only alternative is US LNG, which costs massively more than the energy they had been getting from Russia.
These strikes help Hungary become more sovereign.
The biggest obstacle to Hungarian sovereignty is Victor Orban.
They don't have the cards?!?
No, they don’t. Ukraine is about to get kicked out from Kursk and lose the little leverage they had in the negotiations.

🚨🚨**TANKIE ALERT!!**🚨🚨
Waiting for Putin to claim Ukraine is crossing the line doing this. While he is perfectly OK with bombing Ukrainian Nuclear power plants and dams. Things that are actually clearly war crimes.
It's so cool that Ukraine has found a way to strike back, and they do it within international law!!
Fuck you Russia and fuck you Putin.
Your days are numbered!So many of Moscow's 'Red Lines' have been crossed it's starting to look like a red carpet.
Russia’s days are not numbered.
Fuck Russia, fuck trump.
And Zelensky just announced they have flown a 1000km range missile this week. Kremlin is big mad.
We are close to Russia having oil rationing
Keep going Ukraine
that's the only language russia understands
Oh no. Darn. /s 🇺🇦
Oh no! Anyway…….. 🚙
Oh no... anyways.
Awesome!
I think given the current state of the Russian military, implementing Red Storm Rising is off the table.
I mean, that's literally what this invasion was supposed to be, and failed before they even left the old ussr.
It was supposed to be Russian dominance "from Vladivostok to Lisbon" as Putin's grand political philosopher put it and various Russian Politicians very publicly stated, and here we are 2 years after the "3 day Special Military Operation started" and Russia is still stuck in Donbas with almost 1 million casualties, their massive stocks of Soviet Unions weapons severely depleted and their enemy has developed their own advanced weapons and is increasingly destroying the Oil and Gas infrastructure they rely on to pay for the War and dominating the airspace near the front lines using drones.
Putin's Russia is like the obese guy who loudly claims "I'm in perfect shape", goes out "to run a marathon" and after about about 500m is already totally out of breath and barely moving.
Good shot Janson!

Hell yeah
Man this is terrible for the environment
It's producing no more polution than it would otherwise have produced when used in cars and for heating, only this way the polution is confined to were the guys who pumped it out knowing how bad it was for the Environment live.
It's about the fairest form of polution possible.
Some of the methods this might have been used in may have had some steps involved to reduce pollutants. The overall c02 though would be the same.
Well, using the fuel is too, weakening russia on the other hand is great for it.
I mean I'm not defending Russia or anything. It just hurts me to see a thick black cloud covering the sky. Poor animals. Just shows how harmful fossil fuels are
